HOUSE RULES DEFENDED
Legislator From Illinois, in Speech
at Chicago, Takes Fling at Sen
ators La Follette and Cum
mins Scores Clark.
CHICAGO. Nov. IS. Joseph -G. Cannon,
Speaker of the House of Representatives,
answered his critics with a defense of the
present rules of the House and denied
thHt the Speaker was a "czar," In a
ppeech here tonight.
Mr. Cannon spoke in favor of W. J.
Mnxley. Republican candidate to succeed
"William Lorimer. recently elected Sena-
f tor. as Congressman from the Sixth Dis-
1 trlct.
Sarcasm In Speech.
Mr. Cannon sarcastically paid Ills re
spects to Senator Cummins, of Iowa, and
Ccngressman Champ Clark, of Missouri,
lider of the minority in the House.
Piesident Taft was praised for his de
fense of the new tariff law at Winona,
If nn.
Mr. Cannon took as the text for his
upeech the- following; utterance from one
of the campaign speeches of Dr. Carl
Barnes, independent candidate to succeed
Mr. Lorimer:
"If elected on November 21 I shall
Join the insurgent. and do everything;
In my power to down Cannon."
Mr. Cannon started with a defense of
the present House rules, 2nd stated
emphatically that the House ss ruled
by the majority. He denied thit the
Speaker had the powers of a "czar." He
' said the Speaker was controlled by the
majority, especially at the time of his
election. He also said that an active
majority was an excellent thins in the
House.
"Those Who Kan May Read."
According; to Mr. Cannon. Mr. Cum
mins complained that no Information
had been placed before Congress in
the recent tariff revision. Mr. Can
non remarked that there had been car
loads of information for any one who
wanted to use It. and added:
"There has been no way discovered by
which Information can be put In a man's
skull without any industry on his part."
A denial of the charges that he had
read either Senator LaFollette or Cum
mins out of the Republican party was
entered by Mr. Cannon.
"What I did say." said Mr. Cannon,
"was that If Cummins or LaFollette were
Republicans, then I was not."
In speaking of Champ Clark, Mr. Can
non said:
Champ Clark Belittled.
"We all like Champ Clark, but what he
does not know about ad valorem duties,
schedules and parliamentary law would
make a large library. But he is an expert
on Chaiitauquas."
Mr. Cannon ended by cautioning his
auditors to elect a man who would cast
his vote in Congress as they would cast
theirs If they were there. He also advised
voting for the Democratic candidate,
Frank S. Ryan, if they decided not to
vote for Moxley.

STANT"IBLiD. Or., Not". IS. (Special.)
The most remarkable tribute to Oregon
opportunities and climate yet known, dur
ing the heavy snowfall which prevailed
here recently. Is the fact that a special
car of homeseekers from Fargo, N. D.,
sidetracked at Stanfield by the O. R. &
X., will go no farther, but 1A returning
to Dakota tonight. Of the 40 people on
the car every single one either remains
in Stanfield or has bought orchard land
adjoining or lots in the town and is re
turning to bring out his goods and fam
ily. In view of the especially fine weather
which has prevailed in Dakota during
November and the further fact that tne
present storm and snowfall here is the
worst known in Umatilla County In 37
years, this Is certainly a wonderful
tribute to what Oregon has to offer to the
homeseekers.

"The offenses proved against Mrs.
Ptetson were of two kinds: First,
working against the interests of the
members of this church who are not
her followers and against the teach
ings of this church; second, persist
ing In teachings and practices which
are contrary to Christian Science."
Will Never Desert Church.
Late tonight Mrs. Stetson, in a formal
statement, said she had not received
direct notice that she had been dropped
from the rolls of the mother church, but
bad seen the notices In the newspapers.
"No student of mine, wtth my appro
val." her statement said, "will separate
herself from the mother church or from
Christian Science.
"As for myself, neither death, nor life,
nnr angels, nor principalities, nor powers,
nor things present, nor things to come,
nor height, nor depth, nor any other
creature, shall be able to separate me
from the love of God. which is in Christ
our Lord, and In Mary Baker Eddy, my
beloved leader.'.'
This action against Mrs. Stetson was
taken after stie had made a public
avowal of her complete submission to
the Mother Church. On Wednesday

THIRST FOR POWER DOWNFALL
Sirs. Stetson Desired to Be Head or

NEW YORK. Nov. 18. Mrs. Stetson
received the news of her ex-communication
this afternoon at her residence
in West Ninety-sixth street, adjoining
the white stone temple of the First
Church of Christ, Scientist, of which
she had been the virtual ruler for near
ly 10 years. Efforts to obtain from her
some statement were met by the dec
laration that "nothing is to be said at
present, but a-detailed statement of
Mrs. stetson's side of the ease may
be submitted later."
Virgil O. Strickler. first reader of
the church, who, hy the ex-communica-tlon
of Mrs. Stetson, is now in
supreme control of its spiritual af
fairs, said he saw no reason why the
removal of Mrs. Stetson should in any
way affect the First Church.
A Strickler adherent gave out the
following statement tonight:
"The charges enumerated against
Mrs. Stetson have been before the Bos

ventilated.
"Mrs. Stetson then only escaped ex
communication through the earnest
appeal made in her behalf by Mr.
Strickler.
.'Mns. Stetson has been for years
consumed wtth the ambition to estab

of the Christian Science Church in

SHE FEARED
PARALYSIS
So Did the Physician Who
Attended This Case of
Nervous Breakdown.
Kervous breakdown may be the first
sign of paralysis or some other severe
nervous disorder. A tonic for the nerves
is the one remedy for neurasthenic con
ditions and Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are
a nerve tonic as well as a specific for
conditions that lead to several forms of
paralysis. ,
They are, therefore, of unusual value
in cases of extreme nervousness in which
there is reason to believe that the trouble
may progress until a disease develops
that is generally regarded as incurable.
Such a case was that of Mrs. W. H.
Gerlach, of University Place. Station
No. 5, Tacoma, Wash. She says.
"About two months before the birth
of my youngest son, I became greatly
run down through worry and overwork
in oaring for my husband.who had been
seriously injured iu an accident. After
the birth of the child I was completely
broken down in health. My head and
back ached all of the time. I had no
appetite and, whenever I ate, my stom
ach distressed me so that food didn't
seem to do me any good. I felt so tired
that I wanted to "sleep all of the time.'
I had been sick only a few weeks when
I began to notice a numb, creeping-like
sensation in my hands and feet. These
spells lasted for about five minutes or so
at first but gradually lasted longer until
I would feel them for a whole day. My
hands and feet became colorless and
dead like. There was no feeling In them
and I could hardly write or do any work
with them. The numbness was worse
during damp weather or when I was ex
tra tired.
"I was under a doctor's care for over
a year and, when the numbness began,
he said I was in danger of paralysis.
He treated me with electricity for several
weeks but he did not help me. Then I
decided to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
as I liappened to read of a case, like
mine, which they had cured. I gave
them a thorough trial and round they
were helping me for I grew stronger in
every way. The numbness finally left
me and I was entirely cured. I have
been strong and well since."
The remedy which gave Mrs. Gerlach
complete- health can be obtained at any
drug store or direct from the Dr. Wil
liams Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y.,
at 50 cents per box ; six boxes for $2. 50.
and those of the Yee family are ready
for war, and the butchers of the quarter
are driving a thriving trade in wildcat
meat.
Many of the prominent Chinese have
employed white men as bodyguards.

THE CROAKER
Another impossible tiling that we do
in dentistry (according to the Jaundiced,
jejilous gentlemen of "our clan" the
anvil choius of dentists), where it is
necessarv to extract teetli to lrmke room
for a plate in most cases we make the
plate at once and guarantee the same
both for comfort and service, without
waiting three or four months for the
gums to heal before making the plate,
as is the custom in general practice.
Impracticable, declares the antiquated
practitioner of dentistry. Conceit has.
caused manv professional men of pros
pective aliility to retrograde rather
than progress. The sages of the ante
deluvian age, who lived to be hundreds
of years old at tne time oi tneir u
mise. could have learned something
more, even at the ripe old age of 30
and 600 years. Had the calamity howl
ers in this profession spent as much
time learning that the ALVEOLAIt
METHOD of dentistry was not a myth
Instead of knocking, that old rani
shackle Jade, hard times, would not
perhaps be chasing him today. The
scoffer who has an aversion for
progress Is not likely to climb to heaven
without a ladder. His pinnacle of fame
is the. top of the bottom rung, and whila
IKe endures he will remain there.
In cases where all the teeth are gone
we can do nothing except furnish a per
fect and perfect-fitting plate, some
thing that most dentists can't do. But
if two or more teeth are left in either
jaw we can restore all those that are
missing bv the Alveolar Method, and
give a patient a set of teeth that are
so near natures that the loss of tlie
natural teeth will scarcely be noticed.
The work is practically painless, calls
for no suigical operation. Is not teeth
implantation, and when done, is perma
nent. The wearer, can UMe tiie Alveolar
Teeth with almost as much satisfaction
as if thev had grown in his jaws, and
we defy anv one. dentist or layman, to
tell them from the most beautiful and
perfect natural teeth.
Pyorrhea, the most dreaded disease
of the dental profession, commonly
known as Riggs' disease (loose teeth),
a disease that dentists as a whole havo
given up as incurable, we claim to cure
and guarantee the cure to be perma
nent. We have hundreds of cases to
refer to right here In this city and
state. There is seldom A day that we
do not discharge one or more patients
from our office as cured of this awful
disease.
